College pic of me and roommates in ugly ties

Posted on September 25, 2008 by

My roommates Andy, Baber and me circa 1990, Los Angeles.

I don’t remember why my roommates Andy, Baber and I are wearing identical outfits with incredibly ugly ties.  All I know is that this picture from around 1990 makes me very happy.

Yes, those glasses are bigger than my head.  I think I wore them for most of the 1990s.  Why, God, why?

    Rik, we were invited to a birthday party for twins and the invitation stated something like, “Costumes Optional” I think because it fell around Halloween. I’m glad it makes you happy; I too have fond memories of those days.
    My grandmother had an altogether different reaction. She said those pictures were awful because I didn’t look like me!
    BTW, I read your previous entry (I think from Sept. 5) about the reunion with folks from your evangelical days. We just got back from the reunion and really enjoyed seeing “old” friends. I’ll reply directly to that post.

    Oh yeah, I almost forgot. We were practicing our entrance to the party with the following words on our lips:
    “Ladies!”
